Rumors had been around for a few months about New York artist KAWS lining up something special with Air Jordans. A leaked picture of the soles of a pair of Jordans with the iconic X that KAWS uses sent sneaker heads into a frenzy looking for more.

The hype comes from KAWS having produced some great collaborations with names like Supreme and Bape. His Nike collaboration on a Basketball court mural in Manhattan is a good look at why he’s been tapped for this one.
